Physician (7 on/7off schedule)

About the role

Curana Health is seeking a mission-driven Physician to serve in an inpatient comprehensive rehabilitation facility (IRF). This role offers a true 7 on / 7 off block schedule—seven consecutive days on service followed by seven days completely off—providing 26 weeks of protected time per year with a predictable rhythm you can plan a life around. We're looking for physicians who want to focus on high-acuity inpatient rehabilitation medicine while reclaiming the rest of their calendar.

Responsibilities

• Lead the interdisciplinary team in an inpatient comprehensive rehabilitation facility (IRF).
• Manage medically complex patients through their functional recovery.
• Mentor Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) and advocate for patients in your care.
• Complete admission history and physicals, establish rehabilitation goals, and document individualized plans of care within required timeframes.
• Conduct face-to-face visits at least three days per week (daily as clinical acuity requires) to assess progress and adjust care plans.
• Lead weekly interdisciplinary team conferences with PT, OT, speech-language pathology, nursing, case management, and social work to set goals, track progress, and plan discharge.
• Review and sign off on preadmission screenings to confirm rehabilitation appropriateness and IRF medical necessity criteria.
• Manage active comorbidities, medications, pain, and post-acute complications to enable full participation in intensive therapy.
• Partner with APPs to manage daily rounding, complex visits, and after-hours needs while ensuring compliance and clinical excellence.
• Oversee APP performance, serving as a mentor and resource to elevate care delivery across the team.
• Close quality gaps to drive measurable improvements in functional outcomes, length of stay, and discharge to community.
• Coordinate safe transitions of care with referring acute hospitals, post-acute partners, families, and outpatient providers.
• Represent Curana Health's mission and values as a clinical leader and ambassador in the communities served.

What Makes Curana Different

• A schedule that protects your life: seven on, seven off with no pager, no charting backlog, and no clinic waiting when you're off.
• True clinical autonomy: lead your unit with meaningful control over rounding, daily sequencing, and interdisciplinary care planning.
• Infrastructure that supports you: structured onboarding, responsive support teams, help with documentation and regulatory requirements, and a defined handoff process.
• Data-driven tools for your patients: AI-powered insights, smart communication platforms, and modern EMR integrations to track functional gains and manage acuity.

Benefits
